Clawed My Way Out
I've been down a black hole,
the toughest journey,
I have been through
the fight to save myself
...to face the inner you...
for everything I believed I was
the me I thought I knew
I had to reconnect ...
my inner child guided me through
we fought for our survival
a feeling familiar to us both
I wasn't going out...with a madman
the madman who tried to destroy
my everything, my life
he had no idea, who I was...
to whom he was dealing...
my grandmothers' and mothers
blood flow through my veins
with it a courage, a strength,
a deep embedded feeling,
this criminal madman his life
he strayed, his blame...
my inner child, our belief, our
perseverance, our struggle to
succeed,
I have lost a lot of the precious
in my life,...but the gains out way
all of this (indeed),
unless, you have experienced
the evil, is it difficult to express
let alone for a child to comprehend ...
Do not ever lose touch
with your inner child
for this is truly you
for me my life could have gone
either way,inner child, our
inner strength I so love you
